View publicationMK-0873 is a novel selective phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, which has been in development for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this indication, theophylline is still an important treatment, despite its relatively small therapeutic window. In view of this, it is important to investigate whether MK-0873 could affect the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of theophylline, when both drugs are given concomitantly.
